Vienna is once again the most livable city in the world. Following the lifting of the corona restrictions, the Austrian capital again tops this year’s index by the British “Economist” group, which was published on Thursday. Last year, the capital even dropped out of the top ten.
Last year, quality of life in European metropolises had declined significantly due to the Corona crisis, while largely normal life in isolated New Zealand had given Auckland the top spot. At that time, Vienna was only in twelfth place. With the lifting of the corona measures, metropolises in New Zealand, Australia and China sank again in 2022.
Copenhagen, Zurich, Calgary, Vancouver and Geneva land behind Vienna this year. This is followed by Frankfurt, Toronto and Amsterdam, as well as Osaka and Melbourne.
140 cities worldwide in comparison
A total of 140 cities are compared each year for the study of the British business magazine. In 2018, Vienna was the first European metropolis to take first place in the “Economist Intelligence Unit Global Survey”. The health system, education, culture and infrastructure are evaluated. Likewise social security, political stability or the crime rate.
War in Ukraine leaves Russian cities behind
According to the analysts, Moscow and St. Petersburg have suffered a serious loss of stability and quality of life as a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine. The Ukrainian capital Kiev was excluded from the ranking this year.
